While some players cannot find it difficult enough and complete group activities alone, others start to sweat. The difficulty level in MMOs has always been a big topic. This week we want to know from you if today’s MMOs are too easy.
While it used to be quite an achievement to tackle group activities alone in MMOs, today you can find news about solo clears of dungeons, raids, and bosses seemingly at every corner.
Just a few days ago, a new dungeon for the PS4 and Xbox One version of TERA was released, which was defeated just a few hours later. The difficulty level of TERA is currently under criticism anyway.
PC players believe that TERA offered more challenge at its initial release in 2011/2012.
However, the difficulty has been significantly reduced in recent years. On consoles Xbox One and PlayStation 4, where TERA only launched on April 3, 2018, the problem has even been exacerbated.
Our Destiny 2 Should Be Harder
Bungie seems to have recognized this problem as well and wants to offer players of Destiny 2 more challenge. The difficulty level in PvE is to be significantly increased. This means that not only the power level of your character will be more important, but also the appropriate elemental damage of the weapon will now be promoted.
In addition, with the upcoming expansion “Warmind,” it will be made significantly harder to reach the maximum power level in Destiny 2.
Solo Players in WoW
Especially in World of Warcraft, defeating group content as an individual is very popular. Recently, Mione completed the Cathedral of Eternal Night on difficulty +15 solo while also meeting the time limit.
Although this happened only on a tournament server, he has once again mastered a solo challenge that was originally designed for five competent players.
Even though Mione is certainly an exceptional player, you often read the comment regarding his achievements: This shows that something is wrong with the balancing. Such content should be impossible to complete alone.
Critics see exactly in such kills the problem of today’s MMORPGs: They are simply too easy compared to earlier.
Now we want to know from you: Are today’s MMOs simply not difficult enough? Do you miss the times when raids consisted of 40 players and could still wipe? Or is the challenge of online games currently just right for you?
